On the hull of the middle tank M the self-propelled 75/18 was developed which proved to be the most dreaded Italian tank vehicle by the Allies. In fact it proved to be an effective armoured defence weapon installed in the casemat which could destroy even the strongest and heavily armored British and American tanks. In addition to its good shooting performance which was far above the M-13 and M-14 tanks the self-propelled was appreciated for its low profile that makes it difficult to detect and because of its overall good driving performance. It was used by the Royal Army in Africa and in the Italian territory and later to confirm its good characteristics after September 8 1943 by some forces.
